rodney,

i just said bust the monopoly. deregulate. if the usps survives that, then i'd be really happy. but i wouldn't bet on them surviving. they make very poor decisions. and the reason the usps is in a death spiral is because of that "cheap, efficient small parcel delivery" model you seem so impressed with. it isn't viable anymore. hasn't been for over a decade. one only has to look at the deficits they rack up year after year to realize that. something that broken isn't something you praise as a good thing and tell folks they should be thankful for. it's a fairy tale.
